If for some reason you have failed to do the basics and maintain a bzckup copy of your computer, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Cannot get songs out of itunes library

This is an very complex problem and if you can solve it you are a legend. I have spent an hour on the phone to apple tech support with no luck.
I have donwloaded some songs I do not want. They were directly downloaded to my iphone. Now when I delete them from iTunes library they transfer back when I sync. I have tried everything. I have changed settings so that when I sync only selected playlists sync. I was then planing to delete them from iTunes when they were no longer on the phone and porblem solved. Believe it or not, despite my phone only showing one playlist (the one I selected) which did not contain any of the songs I want to get rid of, the album (the dreaded Christmas album) still comes up when you look in albums on the iphone. How is this possible?
This is all connected up in the icloud, is this why it keeps popping up? I need to stop purchases from transferrring to the iTunes library so that I can sync a library that does not contain the offending album and thus remove them from the phone. I don't want 100 Christmas songs on my phone.
Yes I have tried unchecking the songs and telling iTunes to only sync checked songs. This did not work either.
I have wasted a lot of time on this, please save me.

I was able to get the third playlist in the correct order. I had to change the arrow direction over the number column, and then drag and drop the songs back in the order I wanted them, and then synced, and now it seems to be ok.

How do I get songs purchased on itunes to work on my new computer??

My laptop recently crashed, and luckily I had my songs backed up on an external hard drive. When I transferred my library to my new computer, the songs purchased on itunes won't sync with the ipod. How can I fix this??

Do the songs play in iTunes? Try playing one first, if the computer isn't authorised, you'll be asked to authorise it and the songs should sync after that. If your system crashes or you reinstall your operating system without deauthorising iTunes first, even a single computer can use up your limit of 5 authorisations as you have to reauthorise each time: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

How do you transfer songs to second iTunes user account; same computer

How do I transfer songs from one user account to another user account on the same computer?
I've given my son his own account on our second computer. Prior to this, he shared his sister's iTunes account, using a playlist to populate his ipod. Now that he has his own account, he wants to transfer his music to his own account. Is it possible to do this quickly? I've been able to copy some actual song files from the first iTunes library and physically move them to the new account using a flash drive, but this is cumbersome. Any better options? Thanks.

Name wrote:
Sounds like a good plan. What folder/files do I move...the entire 'iTunes Media' folder? ...and how do I point to it...through the advanced preferenced feature?
It would be the folder you have selected as your Library folder. Usually Mac HD/Users/[User]/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media
See below:
Select Mac HD/Users/Shared/Music - CREATE IT if need be
Move your iTunes folder to the new Music folder. You'll probably have to "re import" the Library in iTunes. (Clear the old library first)
But ionce it;s in the Shared Music folder, EVERY account on the comp can access those files for their own library (whichever songs THEY want) and you onle need ONE copy of everything.
Each user can only access or modify THEIR OWN library while logged on so it prevents someone erasing another's library, because the iTunes Library file is in a locked folder when others are logged in.

Use the backup of the computer to put all your media and other important data on the new computer.
If for some ridiculous reason you have failed to maintain a backup, some content can be redownloaded from the iTunes down.

How do I get songs on my ipod from computer at home AND comp. @ moms?

I am wanting to know how I can (continue to) get songs from the library on my home computer to my ipod and then be able to go to the computer at my moms and also get songs from that library as well? Every time I have tried, it deletes the songs I have in my library and over rides the library with the one from the "current" computer. Thanks!

You need manual transfer.

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

Welcome, Nicole, to the Apple Discussions!
The music you want to share has to be in "a publicly accessible location".
What's that?

How can I get my music on iTunes on my new computer?

I just got a new computer because my old one totally died. All I want to do is get my iTunes on my new computer to have all my music on it, just like it was on my previous computer. I have an first generation iPod Touch, 16GB.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.
The exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases

How do I get my all my music from my original computer to my current computer? Music is on my original IPhone that I use as an IPod. Most of my music is selected from an external hard drive.

The bulk of my music is held on an external hard drive. The balance is music I have purchased off ITunes. About 8years ago I selected songs from all this music on the hard drive and the playlists are held in ITunes on this computer that I used 8 years ago. The music was copied to my original IPhone which I now use as an IPod. How can I transfer this ITunes list to my current computer?

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

How can I get Adobe Photo 3.2 from my old computer to new computer?

My old HP computer came with the Adobe Photo 3.2 which worked beautifully for me. I could upload all my photos, click on the ones I want to put in various collections and send all the photos in that collection in a slide show, which allowed me to send as many photos as I want and as many collections in an email as I want. My new computer has My Pictures but that sucks. When I upload all my photos, they automatically go into 1 file, not allowing me to pick which ones go into which file. Also I cannot send out in slide show, have to send out in strips, which means I can only send between 4-8 photos in any given email or email will bounce back for exceeding limits. I need to be able to send out 30-40 photos per email. Is there anyway to transfer or get the Adobe 3.2 to my new computer.

Unfortunately, Starter Edition 3.2 has been discontinued for some time now; an alternative option (which is free) could be google Picasa; check that one out to see if it might work for you.
Photoshop Elements replaced Starter Edition, and comes with a sophisticated organizer that essentially does what Starter Edition did; download the tryout and use it for 30 days for free to see if it does what you want it to.
